We’re halfway thru our trip in Surabaya. So far I can say we’ve had a great time despite the temporary setbacks that having a toddler and an infant in the same room entail. Most of the time I’ve been by myself with the kids as my husband has been working 7-6 every day. Thank God … Continue reading

A Week in Snapshots: ❊9/04/12-15/04/12❊
Busy is an understatement for this week! When we were not getting ready to join daddy in Surabaya we were at Kindyroo, an AWA meeting, school or on a plane. We got to Surabaya on Wednesday night and we’ve had a very busy but fun schedule. We will be here for one more week and … Continue reading
Easter at the American Club
As I’ve mentioned before, we try to keep our home traditions and holidays as much as possible. Easter was no exception and we were very lucky to be able to attend the Easter party at the American Club. I only took Evan to the party because daddy was out of town on a business trip … Continue reading
10 places every kid should see in the US
I found this article about the ten places every kid should see in the US. I thought it was very interesting that they don’t only show places to “entertain” kids, but rather to teach them about history and science. I grew up going to Sea World in San Antonio and I would love to take … Continue reading
A Week in Snapshots: ❊02/04/12-08/04/12❊
This week was a very long week. Daddy left on Monday for Surabaya and we had a long Easter weekend. Chasing two little boys around is not easy, we miss daddy! Both the kids caught colds and the heat and humidity didn’t help at all. However, this is all menial considering the great Sacrifice Jesus … Continue reading
Find: Epicentrum Walk
Sometimes living in a concrete jungle has its advantages. The shopping malls tend to be amazing. One of the nicest shopping centers I’ve seen in Jakarta thus far has to be Epicentrum Walk. I found this little shopping center about two weeks ago as I was attempting to buy tickets for Disney on Ice and … Continue reading
To travel or not to travel?
I recently read this article about traveling with kids: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/barbara-adam/traveling-with-kids-the-t_b_1375419.html. In summary it encourages parents to not keep themselves from traveling because of the kids, but au contraire, to travel with them as the experience will prove to be invaluable and a great learning opportunity. I couldn’t agree more. Although carrying a little one around … Continue reading
A Week in Snapshots: ❊26/03/12-01/04/12❊
This week was a very relaxed one. The kids had a break from Kindyroo and Evan just started going to his preschool by himself. No more mommy and I class! Daddy went on a business trip to Aceh for a few days and we just hung out with good friends at home and out and … Continue reading
Find: Miniapolis Plaza Indonesia
I love the outdoors. I enjoy going camping, hiking a nature trail, going to a park. Alas, Jakarta doesn’t have that many outdoor activities to offer. The few city parks I’ve seen are very dirty and not well-taken care of and the tropical heat doesn’t help considering these parks barely have any trees to provide … Continue reading
Little Red Farm Worldwide Cultural Exchange
We are now taking part of a Worldwide Cultural Exchange where the kids, with the help of mom and dad, prepare a box of things representative of their country and culture and send it to kids elsewhere in the world. In turn, we receive boxes from the same kids we sent packages to and learn … Continue reading
